Okay, I ran this idea briefly through the Music board and it seems to have gone down quite well, but I think it belongs here, so here we are.
Welcome, one and all, to the TV Tropes Album Exchange Club. The basic idea of this coven is (I hope) to widen the musical horizons of all participants and encourage open and enlightening discussion about why we like the music we like, and how we react to music that we're perhaps not so familiar with. It's basically like a book club... but with music.
The Basic Rules (a few points still need sorting out):

Awesomes. Thanks!
For the record, I'd agree with with three days being enough time, and the album I'm recommending is Owen Pallett - Heartland.

*signs up*
I will come up with a suggestion when I can think of one findable online.
I vote the listening period be a week.

Everyone should listen to Ben Frost's Theory of Machines album.
Shall I fetch appropriate links?
Also, this is the first time I've ever wandered to this neck of the woods.

Sign me up. I'ma suggest Tiamat's Wildhoney; I'll provide a link and a boring-but-informative description of the album when/if it's chosen as the album to listen to.
Three days sounds good to me as well.

Interesting. I like that so far all the artists here are pretty obscure as far as I know. Hopefully I'll be able to do this justice.
I think to start I'll do Girl Talk's Feed the Animals
Video Game Census. Please contribute.

^oh hellz yeah.
How do we decide what album we're listening to?

Well I've got each album so far recommended in a spread sheet, in the order they've been recommended. I'll probably just use a random number generator to choose each one. Or, I could just order them using something unbiased, like alphabetical order of the first track title.
Got any other ideas?

I like the random number generator. More fair, I think.
Video Game Census. Please contribute.
![]() Resident Hipster
Yeah, I guess it is the fairest way.
By the way, thanks to everyone who's taken part so far, I'm really looking forward to this! I reckon we can start listening to the first album on Monday.
So far, 3 days seems to be the most popular option for how long to listen to each album, but some people haven't stated either way, so if they could, that would be nice Listen to Music with Tropers at The Troper Turntable!

Agreed, most people here will find the time to listen to an album within 3 days. Also means the others aren't waiting too long.

Huh. This might fun. I want to join.
As for a suggestion...Spiritualized's Lazer Guided Melodies.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah
I'm not dead yet!
I'll join! I suggest Relient K - Forget and Not Slow Down. It's not religous so no one should feel uncomfortable. Most of the album is break-up songs.
We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.
![]() Laugh it off, everybody
Alright, my rec is 1987 (What the Fuck is Going on?) by the Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu.
All but one of the songs are available on Youtube ("The Queen and I" is really hard to find, sorry) and if it gets picked I'll link to them in order.
